Das Bild ist ein Teil meiner Diplomarbeit "Places from my mind". Diese Serie von Werken ist eine Reflexion von Stimmungen und Orten aus meiner Vergangenheit, die nun durch die Distanz von Zeit und Raum verblassen sind. Mit Hilfe der Vorstellungskraft und „kreativen Fehlerinnerung“ werden diese Erinnerungen bewusst oder unbewusst mit imaginären Details gefüllt, neue Szenerien erschaffen, fremdes Kolorit dazugefügt - so entstehen neue „Places from my mind“.
Im Norden weiß man die Frühlingssonne besonders zu schätzen.
Irina Zich
Portraits of people are at the heart of Irina Zich’s paintings. She draws inspiration for her works from reality, yet her paintings speak for themselves and exist independently of their source material. The subjects Irina selects are never depicted realistically; instead, she alters them in terms of colour, arrangement and lighting. Irina is not concerned with presenting a faithful representation of reality, but rather a glimpse into her imagination. In these newly composed motifs, she seeks to achieve a harmonious and balanced composition. This is characterised by the interplay between somewhat abstract and representational visual elements, and a blend of precision and openness, clarity and ambivalence. The intensity in the faces contrasts with open planes, thereby creating a sense of tension.
